About
How to be a revolutionary Synopsis
'What do you all come here for?'
'Why, to change the world, of course! Don't we all want to change the world . . . if we can?'
Find Your Passion. Build A Team. Change The World
A General Election is coming and the Revolutionaries are gathering at Natalie's house. She's determined to be a part of it all, but is it really just about red coats, muddy boots and piles of glossy leaflets? Surely changing the world should be more exciting than that?
It's time to start her OWN revolution. It starts with a quest to the park to smile at 10 strangers and ends with chaos, 50 curious rats and a team of passionate kids inspiring their school to change the world — one small step at a time.

About Lucy Ann Unwin
Lucy's professional background is in journalism. She was an music journalist at BBC 6 Music for 10 years, where she was privileged enough to interview the likes of Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Adele, report live from the side of the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, and absorb hundreds of hours of wonderful live music.
Brought up in Birmingham, Lucy has lived all around the UK, from Newcastle to Brixton, Worcester to Chesterfield. She also lived for a year in the Chilean city of Valparaiso, and for three years in San Francisco, where she tutored children and young adults in creative writing as part of the 826 Valencia writing programme, set up by Dave Eggers.
She has now settled on the Sussex clifftops with her husband and two daughters (and tortoise), where she divides her time between writing, editing, book-selling and reading as much children's fiction as she can. Her first Book, The Octopus, Dadu and Me, was shortlisted for multiple awards, including The Brilliant Book Award.
